Well then clearly not a coincidence that it happened after posts on this, and you clearly have more information.

I still find it unfathomable that if was a simple mistake by a blogger who has shown that his syntactical skills are close to nil. Not saying it's a "conspiracy", but the arrangements between BA and individual bloggers are hardly a model of transparency (a general problem as to many of the financial products salesmen featured on BA who deceptively market their sales as expert, disinterested advice).

At best, it shows a massive misunderstanding between a corporate entity and one of its "content providers", which doesn't speak highly of anyone involved. Given how two-faced BA has been in response to criticism ("We have no responsibility or control over the content of the blogs we promote and make money off of! Of course we don't tolerate plagiarism how dare you suggest we sit idly by and allow it!"), hardly surprising BA wouldn't be transparent with some of the unsophisticated, not particularly knowledgeable people it has been collecting to generate revenue while flooding what used to be a community with garbage, cheapening the value of high quality writing like your own.
